Switched on Bikes
We'll set you up on your bike with a helmet and provide you with full instruction on how to use your eBike (it's easy!). We've got a large car-free space to get used to riding before we set off.
30 minutesWellington Waterfront
The Wellington Waterfront hosts many events and markets through out the year and is a happening place when the sun is out!
30 minutesMuseum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa
We'll stop outside Te Papa as it's a central landmark of Wellington on the waterfront. It's New Zealand's national museum and we'll tell you about the current exhibitions. It's just a short walk from our shop if you want to look through at the end of your bike tour.
Oriental Bay
We'll ride past on the cycle path beside the beach. We'll stop for photos and see how popular this beach spot is on a sunny day!
5 minutesMount Victoria
We'll be riding along the coast at the base of Mt Victoria for much of the tour. There are plenty of photo opportunities with Mt Victoria forming the backdrop of your shot.
Maupuia Walkway
For the best photos over-looking Wellington and the surrounding bays we put the bikes on 'turbo' and head up to the top of Miramar Peninsula. From the top you'll have enough time for photos and we'll tell you a Maori tale of how Wellington Harbour was formed.
20 minutesCog Park
This is our cafe stop, where a tea or coffee is included in the price of the tour. The beautiful harbour and yachts docked make a stunning backdrop for photos to take back home.
